Divorce Statistics Not As Bad As PortrayedA recent article published on the dakotavoice.com challenges some common conceptions regarding the frequency and epidemic proportions in which couples are getting divorced. A common statistic that is thrown about in the media is that one out of every two marriages ends in divorce. It can be argued, however, that this figure is tainted because some people go on to remarry three, four, five times or more. In divorcing and remarrying multiple times, these individuals inflate the divorce statistics for everyone else, making it appear as though one out of every two marriages end in divorce. Newly released statistics by the US Census Bureau indicate that of those people who have ever married, 75.55% have only been married once. These stats may not exclude those individuals who do get married, divorce and then never remarry, but they are still strikingly high. The Census Bureau data also reported the average marriage in America lasting over 18 years. That’s not bad, especially when you consider that by the time a couple have lived long enough to be married 18 years, not only divorce but death has statistically ended quite a few marriages. Regardless of the statistics behind divorce, and the argument over how many individuals are actually unhappy in their marriages, there is little debate over the fact that divorce has become part of our culture. We are inundated with talk of divorce in the tabloids and on television. The sad fact, however, is that it is really very hard to appreciate how difficult a divorce can be until you are faced with it yourself.
